Description

In "Introduction to Meteorology," learners explore the science behind weather and atmospheric phenomena. They study the structure and composition of the atmosphere, gaining insights into how it affects weather patterns and climate. By examining the solar system, learners understand Earth's position and its interaction with celestial bodies, influencing weather and seasons. They delve into cloud formation processes, learning how different types affect weather conditions. Precipitation studies focus on the various forms of rain, snow, and hail, and their impact on ecosystems and human activities.

The course also covers climate change and global warming, emphasizing their causes, effects, and ongoing scientific debates. Understanding natural hazards like hurricanes, tornadoes, and droughts helps learners appreciate the risks and mitigation strategies essential for weather-related safety and environmental stewardship.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
